How to do "Multiplexing of Control Files" through pfile (parameter file) in Oracle 11g

Step 1) First step is to check how many control files are in IN USE.

Example: -
SQL> select name from v$controlfile;

NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prod/control01.ctl
/u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/prod/control02.ctl

Note: - As from the above output we can see 2 control files are in IN USE. Now I will add one more control file in /u01/app/oracle/oradata/prod location.

Step 2) Second step is to edit pfile which is under ORACLE_HOME/dbs location.

Example: -
prod.__pga_aggregate_target=339738624
prod.__sga_target=503316480
prod.__shared_io_pool_size=0
prod.__shared_pool_size=142606336
prod.__streams_pool_size=0
*.audit_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/prod/adump'
*.audit_trail='db'
*.compatible='11.2.0.4.0'
*.control_files='/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prod/control01.ctl','/u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/prod/control02.ctl','/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prod/control03.ctl'

 Note: - I have added third control file in pfile.

Step 3) Now we need to copy the content through 'cp' command to make the control files in sync.

Example: -
[oracle@prod dbs]$ cp /u01/app/oracle/oradata/prod/control01.ctl /u01/app/oracle/oradata/prod/control03.ctl
[oracle@prod dbs]$ cp /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/prod/control02.ctl /u01/app/oracle/oradata/prod/control03.ctl

Step 4) Now shut down the database through shut immediate command then start it again.

Example: -
SQL> shut immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area  839282688 bytes
Fixed Size     2257880 bytes
Variable Size   545262632 bytes
Database Buffers   289406976 bytes
Redo Buffers     2355200 bytes
Database mounted.
Database opened.

Note: - In case you will get an error during startup, then you need to shut down the database and repeat the copy step again to make control files in sync.

Step 5) Now check the control file status from below command.

Example: -
SQL> select name from v$controlfile;

NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prod/control01.ctl
/u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/prod/control02.ctl
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prod/control03.ctl

Note: - Now we can see from the above output that our 3rd Control file has been added successfully.

                                       How to Add, Resize, Drop and Rename a datafile in Tablespace In order to create a data file first, need to create a tablespace, To know how to create a tablespace  Click here To demonstrate, I will use USERS tablespace to Add,  Resize, Drop and Rename a data file. First, we can check how many data files are present under USERS tablespace through below command. Command: - select name from v$datafile; We can see from above output only a single data file is present under USERS tablespace. Addition of Datafile: - Command to add a datafile: - alter tablespace users add datafile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prod/users02.dbf' size 50m; The new data file has been added to my USERS tablespace. Resize of a Datafile: - Command to resize the datafile: - alter database datafile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prod/users02.dbf' resize 20m; Renaming of a Datafile: - We have a few steps to rename a data file: -

How to do "Multiplexing of Control Files" through spfile ( server parameter file) in Oracle 11g

Image
Step 1)  To perform "Multiplexing of Control Files" through spfile ( server parameter file)" first we need to create spfile from pfile. Example to create spfile from pfile: -                                       Step 2) Copy the control files in physical location from 'cp' command. Note: - At present, I have 2 control files,  I will add one more Control files in the same location. Example: -  Now you can see from above output control04.ctl file has been physically added successfully under /u01/app/oracle/oradata/prod/control04.ctl location. Step 3)  Now you need to set the same through alter command. a)  first shut down the database                                          b)  Startup (Start the database through spfile)                                                                         Step 4) Now through SQL prompt alter the changes. Example: - Step 5) Now shutdown and start the database again and check

Oracle "Redo log Groups addition/deletion" | Karan Rajpoot

Image
                    Oracle "Redo log Groups addition/deletion" Step 1) To add redo log group first we will check the log groups, members details, location, and size. Example: - From the above output, we can see we have 3 groups and inside every group, we have 1 member each of size 50 MB and the location is /u01/app/oracle/oradata/karan/ Step 2) Now we will add one group and check the status of that group. Example: - Now again we can check the details of log groups and member. Now the 4th group and a member of 50 MB has been added successfully. Step 3) Now I will add one more member to the 4th log group. Example: - We can see from the above output that in group 4, now 2 members are there. Steps to drop the latest added group and member Note: - We cannot drop CURRENT members as shown in the above output, So I will add a new member in group 3 and then I will drop that member. Step 1)  Addition of new
